Legend Management Bureau Chapter 441

[ … words ]

“Then Little Xiang, why can you resurrect someone whose soul scattered and spirit dispersed? Are you some great Immortal Deity?” a high-pitched voice asked again.

“Nope,” Shiranui Asuka continued her self-directed Q&A. “The reason I was able to save Senior Du Yu is because of the ‘Reversing Cause and Effect Formula’ left behind by Ancestor Xu Fu. I created this place according to the records in his prescription! I have to say, Ancestor Xu Fu was truly amazing to actually be able to change history… Oh, I just remembered, this formula wasn’t even written by Ancestor Xu Fu, hehe.”

“So how do you build this place?”

“First… you need a legendary chair.” Shiranui Asuka fiddled with the stones for a moment, then hurriedly said, “Oh no, oh no, the stone’s memory capacity is full! We’ll meet again in episode two of ‘Little Xiang’s Gossip’!”

The voice abruptly stopped.

This ending perfectly bridged into the second episode of “Little Xiang’s Gossip.”

You Si still did not quite understand and shook her head helplessly. After all, she did not have a Translation Talisman and could not comprehend a single word coming from the stone.

“I understand now,” Du Yu nodded.

“What do you understand?” You Si asked in confusion.

He felt a wondrous power circulating around his body. If his guess was correct, these endlessly burning flames and continuously regenerating flesh provided him with an extremely abundant supply of Spiritual Energy.

It was impossible for any Immortal in this world to have ever been enveloped by such a dense, unending stream of fire-attribute power.

It was highly likely that he had already forged a bizarre immortal body, an immortal body that was never meant to exist in this world.

If he were to exert his full strength, Du Yu felt he could completely destroy this place.

But that would not do.

Just as the past generations of Time had warned, if the Cave of Time disappeared, time would lose its ability to self-repair. The resulting consequences to the space-time continuum would be utterly unpredictable.

If Du Yu wanted to erase everything before him, he had to think more thoroughly.

He glanced at You Si, who still looked bewildered.

Du Yu knew that explaining everything to You Si would be far too complicated, so he shook his head and asked, “You Si, you can leave this place, right?”

“Yes,” You Si nodded.

“Could you teach me the Time Magic used to travel through time?” Du Yu asked.

“Time Magic for time travel?” You Si was somewhat puzzled. “You are already Time itself. Why would you still need to learn time-traveling magic?”

“Exactly,” Du Yu replied with a smile. “Is it difficult?”

“What is so difficult about it?”

In just a few short seconds, Du Yu mastered the Time Magic that very few could ever hope to learn.

With only a slight exertion of force, his physical body nearly broke free from this accursed cave. He felt as though he had stepped into a domain he had never traversed before.

His mind was incomparably clear. Even though agonizing waves of pain constantly wracked his body and his scalding sweat evaporated the instant it formed, a limitless reservoir of power surged within him.

Bolstered by such formidable Spiritual Energy, he could accomplish practically anything.

“Is there anything else you need me to do?” You Si asked again.

“No need. You can go now.”

“Go?” You Si paused in surprise. “Where do you want me to go?”

“Go do what you want to do!” Du Yu said with a grin. “Go kill the people you want to kill, and achieve the goals you want to achieve. There are still many, many people in this world you haven’t asked yet, right? Are they willing to take my place and become Time?”

“Goals…” If Du Yu had not brought it up, You Si would have completely forgotten. Although Time had left his seat, he was still Time. He needed to find a replacement before he could permanently leave this place.

‘But once he is no longer Time… what will happen to the flames on his body?’

At this thought, her expression dimmed with a hint of disappointment. However, she could only bid a reluctant farewell to Time and depart from the area.

Du Yu slowly sat down right where he was, beginning his long, arduous wait.

In the days that followed, countless “samples” swarmed into the cave as a result of You Si resuming her mission.

Every single one of them was startled by the sight of the man before them, wreathed entirely in raging fire.

Thanks to the scorching temperatures, the entire cave had transformed into a magma chamber. Merely standing there for a few dozen seconds would leave anyone drenched in sweat.

Du Yu generously imparted his advice, constantly urging them to kill their past selves.

Whenever he had free time, he would close his eyes and retreat into his inner world, sorting through the fragmented memories of all the past generations of “Du Yu”.

This time, he endured a duration longer than any previous generation of Time.

A full seven hundred thousand years.

Over the course of seven hundred thousand years, Du Yu had also given up on three exceptional “Terminators.”

They were no different from his past self, and their minds were perhaps even more meticulous.

They had challenged all of this, and He Suoyi had also blown up the entire space-time continuum, yet Du Yu had not chosen them.

They were left to wander forever within the rifts of space and time.

Du Yu knew that in the eyes of any other Time, these “Terminators” were already perfect enough.

But for Du Yu, they were still not qualified.

“What exactly are you waiting for?” a Masked Figure suddenly materialized not far from Du Yu and asked.

Du Yu slowly turned his head to look at him. It was a face identical to his own, but rather than flames, his body was completely shrouded in billowing demonic energy.

“None of your business,” Du Yu replied flatly, and the illusion before him vanished.

It was not long before the illusion reappeared before Du Yu. It asked coldly, “Your resentment is already potent enough to turn you into a demon. What are you still holding on to?”

“A demon?” Du Yu was amused by the dark shadow. “Are there demons in this world that can sparkle and shine?”

“You are just putting on a brave face!” The dark figure shouted as it lunged forward to grab Du Yu, but its arms passed harmlessly right through his body. “You have bitterly waited a million years for those irrelevant people!!”

“So what?”

The dark figure howled ferociously, “Surrender your mind to me! Together, we will destroy this world!!”

Du Yu raised a single finger and gently tapped his temple. “You will never be able to corrupt me. I have withstood these blazing flames for seven hundred thousand years. My willpower has reached unprecedented heights. This is merely Suffering, nothing more. I advise you to dissipate before it’s too late.”

Sure enough, as soon as those words fell, the dark shadow faded away into nothingness.

In the next second, the Stone Door opened.

A person stood outside the Stone Door, his eyes revealing an unfathomable depth.

Unsurprisingly, it was yet another version of himself.

His reaction was completely different from the other “samples.” He was neither frightened nor did he show any signs of confusion.

Instead, he walked forward step by step, entirely ignoring the terrifying, blazing flames, and stopped right in front of Du Yu.

He paused for a brief moment and said, “You are the person from ‘up above’, aren’t you? What exactly do you want?”

Hearing those words, a faint smile graced Du Yu’s lips. “I have been waiting for you for a very long time. Let’s have a chat.”
